Shaking Up The Meta: Triple Strategist Compositions
January 16, 2025
The competitive scene of Marvel Rivals has recently been abuzz with discussions surrounding the viability of running three strategists (supports) in ranked matches.

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals kicks off January 10 at 07:00 UTC, bringing a dark twist to New York City and introducing Marvel's first family to the roster.

The seasonal buff system used by Marvel Rivals has sparked intense debate within the player community. This unique system grants specific heroes substantial power increases — from Hawkeye's insane oneshot potential via a 20% damage boost making him the most common character ban in competitive play, to Venom's extra 150 health points which synergizes well with his ability to transform lost health into bonus health.
Plus, due to poor UI design the seasonal buffs have confused players, making it seem like they were only active during a team-up bonus — for example, if both Luna Snow and Iron Fist are on the same team — and this is not true: seasonal buffs are always active.
